Good day altogether for Joey.  In addition to the maths success noted below, we were able to go to the playground after school and he and Izzy had an hour running around before home, then doing most of his homework before the three wee girls came around again and asked to play with him.  So off they, and Izzy, went on the trampoline for half an hour.  Should sleep well tonight.

But he was upset at the end of school as he had learned that some developers were going to take over the 'Secret Forest' where the kids go for nature studies etc and build a YMCA there.  Really upset him, the loss of the forest, the displaced animals, the environmental damage etc.  Pity that he was upset but great that he feels that strongly.

And we have to have a word with about kissing.  We have laughed in the past about his success with the girls but it has encouraged him to try and kiss all the girls, which I don't mind, but also the boys.  He doesn't mean it but it meant that some of the other boys were taking the mickey out of him in the playground.  Joey's social skills are sometimes a bit lacking, quite common in dyslexic kids, but it would be a real pity if he was to be picked on because of this.  Words will be had.
